@Frank: we had a chat about this very topic on August 2nd, where we seemed
to agree to add the minimum number of names.

In my reading of the spec, this is what is required (**emphasis mine**):

---

"all-names"
Name expansion has the dual purpose of disambiguating cites and names. All
rendered ambiguous names, in both ambiguous and umambiguous cites, are
subject to disambiguation. **Each name is progressively transformed until
it is disambiguated.** Names that can not be disambiguated remain in their
original form.

"by-cite"
Default. As "all-names", but the goal of name expansion is limited to
disambiguating cites. Only ambiguous names in ambiguous cites are affected,
and **disambiguation stops after the first name that eliminates cite
ambiguity**.
